The interior has unbelievable quality for a race car. I love the tach inside the steering wheel, although I don't think it's the best for functionality

Okay...so, like...I have figured out that this car am the super-suck.


I mean, it must be awful on fuel economy. Probably can't even go over a freaking speed bump. Too much wheel spin. And and...look at that crap interior! There's no...NAV! All cars come with NAV! And what's with that fire extinguisher on the passenger side? Your passenger will have no leg room. And how can you hawl a family in that? And and...the fact they have a fire extinguisher means this car is prone to go on fire!

See? Crap car.











Did I sound convincing...? Looking at this masterpiece hurts.

With wise ass remarks like this is the reason why you're on my ignore list. Go ahead and delete this thread since there's already a dedicated thread.

I do now... LOL

I did a search for "Zonda" before posting and got 10 pages of search results. Some of the search result threads didn't have any thing to do with Zonda. Based on a few other people complaining about search not working properly on acurazine, I figured that my search results weren't valid. So I decided to post a new thread.

If my vids haven't been posted yet in the dedicated Zona thread, shoud I go ahead an do so, or would you rather merge this thread into it?

Whoa...relax, dude.

Next time when searching in this sub-forum (Automotive News), try typing in the manufacturer's name (i.e. "Zonda", "Ferrari", "Nissan", etc.) in Titles. Since taking over, I've done my best to have the manufacturer's name in front of all threads in here for ease of search...

If you're looking for keywords in a thread, the result is too wide.

Pagani Zonda R Official Commercial Trailer Released

From Worldcarfans: http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090327....ailer-released

"The Zonda has set more than one record at the race track. It raised the bar for road supercars. Passion, ingenuity, knowledge and craftsmanship created the parts to form an effective and focused package. What more could you want?"

These are the enticing words appearing at the beginning of this beautifully-shot video clip. In the clip is the new Pagani Zonda R. It does not move or even start up. This is something of a commercial trailer for the super track car which was commissioned to Supercarmovies.com by Pagani.

Pagani it may be argued, does not need advertising to sell the Zonda R or any other car for that matter. However we cannot pass up a chance to view another video where the car is featured, even if it is just standing still.

At some point during the clip they show some of the components that make up the R and then progress to other shots demonstrating these parts being screwed together by hand to form a complete package. When it's done you can't help but admire the polished finished product.

To recap some of the technical bits; the engine is a 6.0-litre V12 with 552kW (750hp) and peak torque of 710Nm. It comes with a 6-speed sequential gearbox and slick tyres.

Post 2010 Zonda Cinque Roadster Revealed

From Motor Authority...

So you want one of the world’s most exclusive supercars, and you want something hand-made, but the typical Italian exotics just don't do it for you? Well, then the Pagani Zonda Cinque is just the ticket. Still not exclusive enough? You need the new Zonda Cinque Roadster.

The Pagani road car model range would not be complete without a Roadster version of the Zonda Cinque, and like its Coupe sibling it’s also created in the Modenese Atelier in a limited production run of merely five exclusive pieces.

The new Roadster is essentially the same as the Coupe, although the carbon-titanium chassis has been redesigned for the compensation of a missing roof. Despite the modifications, the car tips the scales at just 1,210kg.

Whether you opt for a relaxed country drive in Tuscany's hills, visiting Florence and other centers of the Italian Renaissance, or a record hunt at the Nurburgring, this €1.3 million ($1.8 million) jewel will reward with every day driveability and ultimate performance thanks to the different drive modes of the newly developed sequential robostized gearbox and a fully adjustable suspension setup.

Powered by a slightly detuned version of the 7.3L V12 engine found in other Zondas that produces 678hp (505kW) and 575lb-ft (780Nm) of torque, the Cinque makes the run from 0-62mph in just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of over 200mph.

Other goodies include an Inconel and titanium exhaust system, 19 and 20in forged aluminum wheels, Pirelli PZero tires, carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, and carbon-fiber seats with leather trim.

2010 Pagani Zonda Tricolore

Wow...From Supercars.net: http://www.supercars.net/cars/4828.html

This is a one-of built for the Spanish importer Guarnieri. Like the Cinque editions that were built for a Hong Kong dealership, the Tricolore has numerous special features including the flappy-paddle gearbox. The car uses tinted carbon fibre much like the Veyron Grand Sport ‘Sang Bleu’ released in 2009. This new Zonda also has upgrades from both the Cinque and Zonda R.

Probably the most unique feature, asides from the color, is a small fin which sits on the engine cover. Other aerodynamic pieces include the front splitter, rear wing and diffuser from the Cinque. The top of the rear fenders have scoops from the the Zonda R for brake cooling. The front lighting system is overhauled to include new LED front signals and more-protruding projector-beam headlights.

Inside and between the seats is a plaque which states "Pagani Zonda Tricolore 1 of 1, Exclusively made for Guarnieri." Furthermore, the symbol of the Guarnieri BMW/MINI dealership in Marbellas, Spain is embroidered on the headrests.

The Tricolore livery is new the Zonda range. The theme is a two-tone stripe which runs down the side of the car. At the front, it is split up by the Italian national colors which continue on the rear wing. The broad stripe its actually tinted carbon fiber with a small outline in opaque blue.

Today we can present three excellent images of the Tricolore from Pagani's own showroom in Modena. We hope to get more details once Pagani releases their own information and images.
